Radiofrequency ablation combined with sorafenib significantly improves liver function and survival rates in liver cancer patients with portal hypertension. Among 100 patients, the combined therapy group showed a higher total effective rate (82.00%) compared to the control group (56.00%). Prognostic factors include Child-Pugh grade, tumor size (6-10 cm), hepatitis history, sorafenib use, cancer stage (IIIC), and prior splenectomy. This approach offers promise for managing the complex challenges posed by liver cancer in patients with portal hypertension.
